<div class="refsect1">
<a name="id-1.3.26.20.8.16.4"></a><h2>Description</h2>
<p>This macro is used to achieve portable move return semantics. The C++11 Standard allows implicit move returns when the object to be returned is designated by a lvalue and:</p>
<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; ">
<li class="listitem"><p>The criteria for elision of a copy operation are met OR</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p>The criteria would be met save for the fact that the source object is a function parameter</p></li>
</ul></div>
<p>
</p>
<p>For C++11 conforming compilers this macros only yields to REF: <code class="computeroutput">return BOOST_MOVE_RET(RET_TYPE, REF);</code> -&gt; <code class="computeroutput">return REF;</code></p>
<p>For compilers without rvalue references this macro does an explicit move if the move emulation is activated and the return type (RET_TYPE) is not a reference.</p>
<p>For non-conforming compilers with rvalue references like Visual 2010 &amp; 2012, an explicit move is performed if RET_TYPE is not a reference.</p>
<p><span class="bold"><strong>Caution</strong></span>: When using this macro in non-conforming or C++03 compilers, a move will be performed even if the C++11 standard does not allow it (e.g. returning a static variable). The user is responsible for using this macro only to return local objects that met C++11 criteria. </p>
